ESPNEWS Media Launch at 7ateNine, Kuala Lumpur

I just attended the launching of ESPNEWS channel at 7ateNine, Kuala Lumpur. ESPN STAR Sports, Asia’s top sports content provider, has announced the launch of ESPNEWS, the first 24/7 sports news channel specially dedicated to Asian sports fans, on Astro’s channel 818.

Adam Zecha, Executive Vice President, Head of Sales, ESPN STAR Sports (in white) and CK Lee, Vice President, Sports Business, Content Management Group, Astro launch the brand new ESPNEWS channel together at a media conference in Kuala Lumpur.

Consisting of highlights, scores, updates and comprehensive sports information, ESPNEWS will feed the Malaysian sports fans’ insatiable appetite for real-time sports news and action from their favorite sports. The new channel will deliver content from local, regional and international sporting events in a viewer-friendly format. Whether it’s scores from overnight European football matches or results from sports events that take place around the world from different time zones, ESPNEWS will keep fans up-to-date with the latest at anytime of the day.

The channel’s layout features four main data streams - a ‘video window’ carrying all the exciting sports action and highlights; a ‘bottom line’ graphic streaming results and upcoming fixtures, a ‘top line’ graphic which provides a continuous update of news, and the ‘sideline’ graphic which will provide the latest standings, rankings and statistics from the top professional leagues around the world.

Said Mr Adam Zecha, Executive Vice President, Head of Sales, ESPN STAR Sports, “As Asia’s leading sports content provider, it continues to be our endeavour to satiate the needs of sports fans with innovative and customized offerings, and the launch of ESPNEWS, the first 24/7 sports news channel dedicated to Asian sports fans, is one such defining moment for us and we are delighted to share this with our long time partner, Astro.”

A Hole In Liverpool Midfield

Watching Liverpool drew 1-1 with Birmingham shows how Liverpool badly miss Xabi Alonso. No one is able to fill his position and keep feeding the wingers and strikers. All is depending on Steven Gerard which is heavily marked and not in top form. As a Liverpool supporter, I am sad to say that I don't believe Liverpool will get 4th placing this year. They will probably make it top 6. If no money going to spend on this summer, Liverpool is doomed next season.
